I would say they may be matches for Texas to get some people in, but they don't have a lot of people on the bench who are not part of their regular rotation. Maybe Parra playing a full rotation?

I prefer concentration on winning the matches and playing well than trying to play the backups.

Texas sweep

Playing backups when possible is important in case there's ever injuries or illness to starters. You want your backups to have enough match experience to step in when called upon, and not be overwhelmed. There aren't a lot of matches where you can rest several starters for an entire set; but, setter is one position now where we have the most quality depth, IMO.

I think all longhorn fans agree that playing up to their standard is step 1 and priority 1. Especially since people seem to think Texas is struggling.

This is some Jerritt seems to refuse to do🙃 and it’s weird because at the beginning of the season he was willing to run a 6-2 when they were up 2-0, and even last season when we were up he would let Malual, Cabello, and Williams play, we haven’t seen that this year…

This‼️ Especially with Covid still around, and especially when it happened just last year when O’Brien was out and Heinrich had stepped in to the DS role! It’s not like we’re wanting him to start all the non starters at the beginning of the match🥴

Yeah it’s a little weird. At some point, you want to see what the bench players are capable of. We’ve gone up on weaker opponents 2-0, giving plenty of opportunities to get them on the court. It seems like a pretty Strange gamble to not get the bench players some playing time. Like at all.

Texas up 7-2 early

Couple of early blocks, Parra hit out of the back, great defense.... Mebbe they've been reading VT? hahahaa

[basil]

TCU is in pain

That high ball works almost every time for Fields😭

[basil]
